The blacksmith can melt down items to generate pearls. Melting down items costs gold and takes time. It cannot be done while the blacksmith is being upgraded.
Starting out, the blacksmith provides one melting slot. Additional slots can be bought with gems, which becomes expensive fast.

Additional slots do not enable the blacksmith to melt down items in parallel. Instead, they can be used to queue up several items so that the player doesn't have to check back as often. The gold to melt down an item has to be paid when an item is added to the queue. Items can be removed from the queue, but there's no gold refund.

The number of pearls an item is worth depends on the item's gold value. The number of pearls that could be obtained from an item is shown when selecting items to melt down. The gold cost of melting down that item depends on how good that items is, as well as the amount of pearls.

Each pearl takes a certain time when an item is melted down. This time mainly depends on the blacksmith's level (between 40 and 7'50 minutes), but is also reduced when new slots are bought (by up to 7'30 minutes). With everything maximized, the time per pearl is 20 seconds. As usual, melting time can be skipped with gems.

With additional slots, pearl conversion also goes up, meaning that each item provides more pearls, but also takes longer to melt down. With all eight slots pearl conversion reaches 600%, meaning the number of resulting pearls is multiplied by six.

As a player gets more meltdown slots, pearl production becomes more and more efficient. However, pearl conversion and time reduction do not improve at the same pace.

For a fully upgraded Blacksmith, the meltdown time per pearl is reduced to just 20 seconds with the final meltdown slot – a 4% of the original 8:20 minutes (500 seconds). With this, pearl production per hour goes up from 7.2 pearls to 180 pearls, which equals 2500% of the original value. At the same time, pearl conversion only improves to 600%.

This disparate improvement has consequences for the item consumption. The effect becomes clear when looking at a single item: An item that yields one pearl with no additional slots requires 8:20 minutes to melt down. With all slots, it yields six pearls, but the entire item only requires 2:00 minutes.

Since pearls can be generated 25 times as fast but items only yield six times as many, this means that more items are needed to keep the Blacksmith going. In essence, players who want to get the most out of the Blacksmith, not only have to invest 10,000 gems, but also have to play much more to supply the necessary items.

After you upgrade successfully a tower, spell, etc, that can be gained with the 1st or 2nd attempt, you will start again with the First Attempt with the success and fail chances.

For example, I have an item that has been upgraded +10 times. If I want to upgrade to +11, I will have for the first attempt a chance of 17% or a fail of 83%. If I guess the 17% of success you start again with the First Attempt, instead if you fail, the second attempt will be 100% sure successful.
